you said components that run on DC and of course they all do. But it's true that there aren't very many components for sale that run on batteries. That's another matter entirely. However, if an audiophile is willing to pay $5000 for a power cord, I don't see why, as a matter of reason, they wouldn't be willing to pay a like sum for a battery supply, which would recharge itself when the system was "off", that could be hooked up to a component or series of components that would run off batteries. The advantage, of course, is total freedom from the noise, hum, RF, etc. of the power line. It's just that nobody so far, except possibly a few fringe Japanese companies (those ultra fi nuts! :-D) have done so. And of course, you would be limited to components from that company, or those few companies - assuming that they would cooperate enough to agree to a common battery supply, which is doubtful - BluRay, anyone? But conceptually, it's a much more attractive idea than a $5000 power cord, isn't it?
